Prior to August 26, 2016, there were no monuments outside the Capitol building in Nashville that reflected women’s contributions to our state’s history. There is now a privately funded monument to the Tennessee suffragists in Centennial Park which has a historic connection to the suffrage movement. Thousands of people visit Centennial Park every year, so this story will be preserved for future generations with fabulous public art. The monument was unveiled in a temporary location in Centennial Park on August 26, 2016, which is Women’s Equality Day, and will be relocated to a permanent site later when renovations to the park are completed.
